Welcome

For a long time I have been saying that I should write a blog about our family for our friends who live far away. As more of our friends are moving away I have finally got myself organised to do one!! Who knows how this will go - bear with me as I work this out :) Let the blogging begin.....

Goal reached - Hair RED!

I have had a secret goal for a long time.
If I lost a certain amount of weight I would allow myself to fulfil a long time wish to colour my hair red.

Look to be honest I would like to lose another 5kg but I have lost enough to be happier and healthier at this point in time, so when my hairdresser asked if we should do it on Friday I said yes!! It is bright, it is different - I like it!!

Mabelle turns 11

We had the pleasure of celebrating Mabelle's 11th birthday with her last week.
Friday night was just us and the Rivas' - lots of games, presents, lollies, cake and fun was had.
Mabelle had spent months cutting up confetti which they were then allowed to throw all over the lounge room. Such a mess - so much fun!
We love our Mabs - she is a gift and treasure xx































Beautiful sky

A few weeks ago, as Seth and I were heading to his piano lesson, we rounded the corner into Camden and were greeted with the most spectacular sky. Apparently it spanned NSW cause my Instagram feed was full of pictures of it. Watching the clouds change colour as the sun went down was amazing!







Holiday with the Rivas'

After we got back from Melbourne we spent a few days with the Rivas'. The house we rented was not fabulous but the company was. We had such a great time. Lots of Fletcher cuddles, frisbee throwing, playing at the park, chatting and just time together. It was really fun. We stopped on the way home to have lunch with Aunty Leone and Uncle George which was lovely too.
I love that the cousins just love being together. Makes my heart happy.































Melbourne

Berty and I don't usually celebrate wedding anniversaries. They come at the end of crazy June and we are tired and broke. This year was our 15th wedding anniversary and I think that is significant. Melbourne very kindly started showing Les Mis that same week so I was able to convince Berty that we should go away for a few nights - he loooooves Les Mis and I looooove Melbourne so it was a win win. Much food was eaten, coffee was consumed, lots of walking and lots of relaxing. Les Mis was fabulous.
It was just great - wondering when we can get back there?































Masterplan CD Launch

I had the pleasure of singing backup at the CD launch for Ben a number of weeks ago. The talent of this man and his musicians is astounding - such a treat to be a part of it. I got to get my rock chick on and that was fun too.









Berty and the boys came too and had an absolute blast.

Will you post my photos today?
